IRISH-AMERICAN NAMES (nameset 18)
10.8% of American population
The current Irish nameset includes far too many English, Scottish, and Welsh names. Although there are a fair number of Scottish names to be found in Northern Ireland, the names in this nameset are overwhelmingly Irish in origin. Consequently, after deleting the non-Irish names, this nameset is actually smaller than the Irish (18) nameset in OOTP.
As with other namesets, duplicates were deleted and spelling errors corrected. Some common Irish names omitted from the OOTP nameset are included here, such as:
- Coogan
- Costello
- Docherty
- Gallacher
- Shannon
- Touhy
Sources that I used include:
Some prominent Irish-American ballplayers:
- John McGraw
- Mike "King" Kelly
- Ed Delahanty
- George "High Pockets" Kelly
- Roger Connor
- Charles Comiskey
- Jimmy Collins
- Joe "Iron Man" McGinnity
